Jesus is THE Deacon of His Church - He calls Himself a Servant and calls all who follow Him to be servants as well.
Two key passages I want to share with you are Matthew 20:20-28 & John 13
I. Who is a servant? Spiritual leadership is Servant leadership!
1. Generally speaking - Every believer
2. Specifically speaking - Office in the Church - Prototype in Acts 6
3. Singularly speaking - Jesus Christ Himself! Matthew 20:20-28; John 13:1-17; Isaiah 42:1
II. What is a Deacon?
1. About the word when used generally
a. We are all “deacons” - 3 Greek words help us understand this
1. We are all diaconas -
2. We are all doulos -
3. We are all huperetes -
